Wuthering Heights, of course
Walden
reddit frick off
not bad but modern cities have more glass concrete and steel. also nighttime lights
No. You're wrong. Walden feels more like this.
>walden is reddit now
yes. its female brained stasis. its a perfect book for reddit bugmen.
I think all these nature writers are kind of lame.
>now
It always was.
Maybe for a newbie.
Dubliners
The Long Goodbye
does it include descriptions of city lights?
The Catcher in the Rye
The Flowers of Evil
Eliot's poetry also
fleurs is deep purple and eliot too brown. is there really no lit that captures the aesthetic of glass concrete steel and city lights? doesnt have to be noir but preferably so.
>fleurs is deep purple
But you're asking for a purple aesthetic
To get that aesthetic it would have to be written in the last 20 years and nobody on this board has read anything that modern so good luck.
I would recommend enigma by Robert Harris, it’s a thriller based around people working on the enigma machine in world war2, it’s rainy, machines and buildings etc.
It’s not a book but the max payne video games were this setting and really good mood and story set in a snow storm in a big city film noir style.
maybe the aesthetic just naturally grew into the film medium, though its unfortunate the obviously strong poetry for it hasnt appeared yet. there are likely dozens of hipster works with the aesthetic but limp, probably none of them very good, since hipsters dont get what makes a poem eternal.
You know where I have surprisingly been encountering poetry in modern life?
In heavy metal- they like putting in paragraphs of spoken words to create a dark aesthetic then go back to screaming lol.
They may just be the ones to carry the torch for poetry into the future as they get inspired by ancient wars and cultures etc and also mix in some modern stuff.
Almost all other music never references or looks at the past in their lyrics. Def not back 1000 years.
youre right, ive also noticed some bands that practically adapt pound and eliot into their work. why do you suppose the psychology of metal succeeds at the drive for vitality and successful reaching into the past, with reverence for ancestors and culture, yet also looks toward tomorrow, with its visions of mastery over the world?
The silence of the noisy cars engulfed the street. A rainy weekend. It was difficult to find meaning in such cold scenery. The humidity impregnated the walkers. The walkers soaked by the flames of sorrow. All in the same street, yet alone. Passing by eachother, yet ignoring the next. Who was once a flower in a garden, full of life and smiles with friends, is now gelid in that cold morning. No meaning. No future. The further they walked, the furthest was the emptiness they felt. Yet they walked in silence through the rain.
thats not bad. id argue its in patches overwritten and lacks some flow, but its something to work with. do you publish?
Thanks. Not yet, but I've been writing some stuff to gain more experience. I'll eventually publish a first novella length book, but for now I'll stick with short stories and the likes.
I know, but I wrote it in less than 5 minutes, without any revision.
Way too many different subjects in one paragraph. Every sentence was going in a different direction.
After Dark and South of the Border, West of the Sun. Both by Haruki Murakami.
